I went for a walk along the river the other day and stumbled upon this...
I immediately thought of this...
And how jealous I was of whoever owned this floating house contraption...How great would it be to live on raft for a while?
So much simplicity, freedom, adventure, and raw interaction with your environment.
And I was reminded that when I was 10 I wanted to live on a raft with him...
who's with me?
"We said there warn't no home like a raft, after all. Other places do seem so cramped up and smothery, but a raft don't. You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft."
Amen, Huck and Jim, amen.
Then I started looking up real live houseboats, because I have a test on Friday, and that is the best way to prepare for a pulmonology test.
Here are a few, in order of swank.
Amazon style. Exotica!
This is a bike boat! Check this guy out here. He's Swiss and is biking his boat down the Amazon. Sounds fabulous.Ooo! Maybe I can be a bike boat DOCTOR one day...
If that's not good motivation to study tuberculosis, I don't know what is.
Green-roofed water haven.
Really stepping up the swank here!
Such beauteous design.I guess fall in Vermont is neither the time nor place to live on a raft, but that's definitely one I'm going to have to add to the Life List.

You get me.
ReplyDeleteI have a dream of building a barge out of garbage and floating the Miss. Mostly so that I can roll up my pants without any social consequences.
